How safe are you? If you’ve ever been burglarized, you know the sense of insecurity and fear that follows having your privacy violated, and if you have children, you especially know how important it is to protect your home from burglars, predators, and thieves. How do you keep your family safe and protect your property […]
This post brought to you by IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. I’ve been a blogger for over three years, and my site has evolved a great deal, becoming a significant part of my life that occupies a great deal of my time. When I started to make money online by learning to monetize my […]
I applied!
Sounds interesting!
i was curious what this was all about it. Even after reading it I’m still a bit lost as to how you can actually make money
Great new conceopt! Although I must read the terms of service to make sure my photos can’t be used for various purposes without my permission.
Wow this seems really cool, I’ll check it out! Thanks
When you post your photos on social media, you are paid for the traffic they garner.

Thanks for the info!
I love Greek pastries (as you can see from some of my past recipes, like this one for Greek Honey Baklava) and today I’m sharing my Galaktoboureko aka Milk Custard Pie…it’s a really rich, creamy milk based custard pie that is very popular (especially in my own home- my husband loves it). Ingredients Filling: 6 […]
Yummy!
So yummy!! Lovely picture too. Your photography skills are really growing!
Wow, this looks amazing!!
I didn’t know you were writing over there!
Sporadically, not monthly like you are 🙂
I’m not big on custard, but I would give this a try!
Oh wow that looks yummy!
This looks great!
I love desserts made with honey, thank you.
This looks delicious!!
This looks so good!
I love baklava, I am going to have to try that!
This looks amazing and it’s a Greek food I haven’t heard of yet. It’s now pinned to my “Sweeeeeets” board and I can’t wait to try it. Thank you!
Wow this looks so yummy!
This looks yummy!
This looks really yummy!
This post brought to you by VTechKids. All opinions are 100% mine. My son is at an age where his imagination is the basis for his playing, so he talks on an imaginary phone, has his action figures interact in imaginary adventures, and moves his toy animals around while growling for them. Watching him engage […]
that is SO cool. I think even my daughter’s would love them!
Those look pretty cool. I bet my son would like to have one.
This is a toy my son would love!!
the blue one hands down. My boy loves blue. and loves cars. those are cute
That is so cool how it transforms. Definitely a fun toy for a little boy!
My son likes to collect toys like that.
It looks like he is really enjoying his new toys.
I have 2 nephews that would love these!
My nephew loves toys like this, I call him Little OP (Optimus Prime).
I love the driver selection option. That’s neat! I think I’d go with the green one maybe. 🙂
My son would love those!
The blue one is very cool.
Perfect! Two things little boys love!
Cool! Sweet T loves her Vtech toys. The Catch Me Kitty is her favorite right now.
These are so cool! My son would love them.
Vtech makes some cool toys!
Love VTech!
cool toys!
So cute!! Hubby was hoping for a boy because of toys like this! Now he has to play with barbies and pretend food 😉
My kids are loving these!
My boys love love love this toy! I adore it too.
DSLR photography is my new hobby, and of course my favorite subjects are my boys! I am still learning a lot about the different aspects of getting great shots, and after having fun with aperture last time, I turned to shutter speed this last week. Shutter speed has incredible affects on photography, and this last […]
Great shots! I need to get a DSLR!
That’s Awesome!
Great tips!
I’m loving learning from you.
Wow that is really cool. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed for a DSLR…some day:)
Cool! I’ve been using AV mode as a crutch so I don’t have to adjust shutter speed. Time to play with it!
Those are cool! I really want to take a class!
I love your photos.
Love the freeway photos! I need to learn this.
So cool!
You are inspiring me to learn more about my camera. Thanks for all these photography posts.
AWESOME! I bought a book but have not yet had a chance to really play with my camera. Love the difference in the shutter speed photos.
Wow I love the fast moving cars in the last pic! That’s so neat!
You are sooooo good at these tutorials. I learned a ton from this! I’m saving up all this knowledge for when I drop the money on a big boy. 🙂
Those are some great shots!
That is so awesome and you’re getting even better at DSLR effects!!
I really need to read a book on DSLR. I know I am doing nothing near what I could be LOL. I always love the blur shots.
Awesome photos!
Thanks for these great tips! I didn’t know really about it but now I want to go use my camera better then I have been!
Wow! Great photos!
I’ve had my DSLR for about a year now, but only started shooting out of automatic a few months ago.
I want to play with shutter speed too! that is cool.
Those are sooo cool!
That’s interesting information. I thought the NE would have a higher rate, especially in the New York area.
Great tips, thanks.
Interesting info..
Great infographic!
It’s so very scary.. 🙁
This is a great info graph and article. As a student I was surprised that I’m a more likely target but at least I’m home from 10am-3pm more often then not.
I live in Houston and THIS WEEK our car was burglarized…nothing was taken because I don’t keep anything in it … but still!
UGH.
Wow, looking at that infographic puts it all in perspective. So scary!
Good post with lots of interesting stats. Thanks for sharing these tips that can help us keep our house safe 🙂
Great tips and information!
So happy to see I’m in the 11% area! We still have a house alarm though. You can never be too careful. Great infographic!
This is SO interesting to read. We’re the corner house and I always felt that we were a bigger target for whatever reason. I’m happy that it shows on this infographic I was wrong. I was also surprised at the most common time being between 10am-3pm. I would assume in the middle of the night was the most popular time frame.
Thanks for the information!
Great post. It’s scary -but an unfortunate reality.
Interesting! We have an alarm, but never turn it on!
After what happened to Lee, this is such great information. Thanks
Some great information. Thanks!
My apt. in Chicago was broken into. It was awful and scary.
Of couse, I live in the south with the worst crime #s. Figures. There’s someone here at our house 24/7, so that’s probably helpful. It does make me nervous to have woods int he back in our house, though.
Wow! Crazy Statistics!
Thanks for sharing this info.
Yikes, those are scary stats. But good to know.
wow, that’s scary since I live in Florida. Thankfully Orlando isn’t in the top 10 (probably 11 though, lol) cities of burglaries.
I’m surprised it’s not higher in NYC (but maybe it’s just not fully reported)
We’ve actually had two cars stolen already (thus getting the motion detector lights…since then no more stolen cars) and our neighborhood has seen quite a few burglaries over the years.
I know, I was thinking of her when I wrote it!
Oh my goodness Anne, turn it on, lol… You don’t want any unpleasant surprises when you return home 😉
One of the houses we are looking at buying is on a corner and as a result of seeing this infographic, I’m MORE interested in purchasing it (the rest are mid-block)
I had my house broke in, and it was the worse feeling. The things that were taken were replaced, but the feeling took a long time to go away.
Of course I would live in the area with the highest percentage of burglaries. Definitely makes you think.
So glad to see that Las Vegas is finally not on a list like this.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow I can’t believe that our region is so low at 11%. Some great tips too!
So scary! Thanks for sharing the info. My mother in law was robbed a couple years ago and she lost all of her very old and very expensive jewelry. 🙁
Thanks for all these really great tips. We’ve never been a victim and I hope we never are.
I did not know so many burglaries happened in the South.
so much for the quiet, sleepy South. Wow! I had no idea.
We were robbed when we lived in LA and it was during the time I was at work. I was only out of the house from 9-1:30 each day and we were robbed some time during that small window of time. They even used our luggage to neatly transport our belongings.
Loved the info…I knew I lived in the wrong place.
We make sure we lock up everything important – so in the chance that we do get our home broken into – they’ll have that much harder of a time getting at the important stuff.
That infographic is informative and scary at the same time!
that’s what I was thinking too.
And btw, I had a dream (the very night I read this) that our house was broke in to. I woke up in a sweat 🙁
Oh my gosh, they even used your luggage?? I’m speechless!
Great tips!
Kas
All these safety tips are great!
You have great information about keeping your family safe from burglars. That infographic is easy to understand. But i can’t imagine it. Thanks for posting. I loved it….. 🙂
Whoa those really are insanely scary statistics. I was debating whether to get a security system, I think this pretty much proves it’s a great idea.
I live in Houston, I can’t believe that. I’ve never felt anything but safe here. That is insane.
Fantastic. I’m young and live in a middle block of houses without an alarm. Suppose I better get one.
